If you are someone who loves finding buried treasure with their trusty metal detector, then here is an alternative to lugging around bulky equipment to search for hidden valuables. They are called Metal Detecting Sandals and they work using the same principal as larger metal detecting equipment.

A copper metal coil is embedded inside the right sandal and is powered by a battery pack that is strapped to your lower leg. If something metallic disturbs the magnetic field within 2 feet below the sandal, the wearer can be notified by a red light, audible buzz, or gentle vibration. Powered by a single 9 Volt battery, the sandals can be used for treasure seeking for up to 6 hours.

Now these sandals may not draw as much attention as someone carrying a large metal detector on the beach. Unfortunately, you might draw attention from people who think that thing on your leg means you have escaped house arrest.

The Metal Detecting Sandals come in two sizes (medium and large) and are available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $59.95.
